*Expert Negotiator is best used if your side has space, so you can take advantage of the monkey you stole. Otherwise, it is just a more expensive [[Shrink]] that lacks a [[Baby Monkey]].

*An Expert Negotiator can counter an Expert Negotiator, its a good way to get your stolen towers back.
**Be careful if you steal a [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]], because the Sun Temple can sacrifice your monkeys on your side too. However, Sun Temple will gain up to +100 Damage if it sacrifices all four of your other monkeys.
*For the best value, use Expert Negotiator on high-cost Monkeys that have high long-term value. Good candidates include: [[Jungle's Bounty Druid]] and [[Arcane Master]], [[Wizard Monkey (BCS)|Wizard Monkey]]s that have been in play for a while, and Monkeys buffed with [[Try this!]].

*[[Favored Trade]]<!--and parting gift if it ever becomes not horrendous--> can be used for freeing up space for Expert Negotiator. Other viable alternatives include [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]]'s sacrifice ability. [[Parting Gift]] also works, but is a very expensive combo.
*An Expert Negotiator can counter an Expert Negotiator; it's a good way to get your stolen towers back.
*Expert Negotiator is an expensive power. If the opponent is currently playing aggressive,<!--sorta thinking midrange but deciding to switch to the aggro side when the opportunity opens--> stealing a Monkey that lacks defense or ammo on the current turn is unwise.
**Be careful if you steal a [[Sun Temple (BCS)|Sun Temple]], because the Sun Temple can sacrifice your monkeys on your side too. However, Sun Temple will gain up to +100 Damage if it sacrifices all four of your other monkeys.
*After the stealing a Monkey, note that the opponent may have an Expert Negotiator to steal back a stolen Monkey. However, one of your Monkeys may be more valuable than that stolen Monkey.

**Keep a note of how many Expert Negotiators the opponent used; if they already used all 3, they will be forced to use other monkey removals to neutralize their stolen Monkeys

Likewise, Expert Negotiator is almost useless against aggro because most aggro decks have few or no Monkeys.
